Joshua Sylvester Love Poems

  • 1.
    They say that shadows of deceased ghosts
    Do haunt the houses and the graves about,
    Of such whose life's lamp went untimely out,

    Yet should the thoughts of me your humble swain
    Ascend to heaven, in honour of my Love.

  • 3.

    And you, my Love, as high as heaven above,
    Yet should the thoughts of me, your humble swain,
    Ascend to heaven in honor of my love.

    And you, my Love, as high as heaven above,
    Yet should the thoughts of me, your humble swain,
    Ascend to heaven in honour of my love.
